HTML5, Flash, Flex – Adobe Presents an Overview

His June 2010 presentation did a really nice job of clearing up the confusion around Flash, Flex, and HTML5. Learn which project types are best suited to creating with Adobe Flash technology, which are best for Flex, and where HTML5 falls into the mix.

Here are some notes that I took as I watched the video:

"Anyone that can stay on top of all this changing stuff is going to be very valuable."

HTML5 is good for basic video but Flash is there when you need to go beyond that.

You need to do both: HTML5 with Flash as a fall back. That will cover all users.

Silverlight is great for .NET developers. They don’t don’t have to learn another language. He doesn’t see Silverlight as competition to Flash.

Apple has reversed itself and now allows apps converted from Flash (using CS5) in its Apple Store.
